Michael Clarke is the Man of the Match for his excellent unbeaten knock of 259.

Finally the much anticipated series between these two teams has started off with a drawn match. South Africa started off positively and once again Amla and Kallis came to the party and both scored their centuries. One whole day was lost due to rain and after that the momentum shifted towards Australia. Cowan got to his maiden hundred and Pup got to his third double ton in this year to lead the highest run-scorers table for this year. Hussey also got to his hundred and Australia scored runs at a good run rate and inserted SA again to bat. In their 2nd essay, the Proteas started off badly, but once again the run-machine duo of Kallis and Amla bailed them out. ABD was also solid at one end and he made sure SA didn't lose their way in the end as they were playing only 10 players because Duminy was ruled out of the match due to a injury after the match had started. Clearly Australia has the momentum now ahead of the second Test at Adelaide, which starts on 22nd November.
